Blessed with all Spiritual Blessings
We seek God every month to hear how we may be a greater blessing to you. We have heard a rumbling in the land and it is not a
temblor. More Christians than ever are talking about the shaking and new sound that is coming. We have change is upon us,
and God counts you worthy to receive the blessings of His grace. We pray the manifestation of His power [in you] comes as never
before experienced. In some it may seem subtle; in others it may be extravagant in its demonstration, but it is coming.
Ephesians 1:3 praises God for “blessing us with all spiritual blessings in Christ.” God’s blessings are empowering us with the
spiritual gifts of authority. As I meditated on this verse, I realized “Do I know all my spiritual blessing; Can I recall more than one
or two by name?” As I discovered the multitude of spiritual blessing available to us, I also became aware of why we need them.
“The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but spiritual to the pulling down of strongholds.” (2 Cor. 10:4) All our problems, and
all their solutions, originate in the spiritual realm. People and circumstances are involved as a result, but the sources of our
curses and blessings are spiritual.
If we examine the “Original” conflict of Adam and Eve’s problems in the garden, we see they did not originate with the tree, or
forbidden fruit, or even a deceptive serpent. The source of their problems came from a gradual spiritual separation with God.
Adam and Eve made the choice and “hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.”
(Genesis 3:8) God [who is a spirit] was excluded from their decision making process. After enough spiritual separation, Adam
and Eve became vulnerable to the conversation of the serpent, the circumstances at the tree and the curse of the apple. To keep
us from falling into similar situations we need to know what our spiritual empowerments are, what are the weapons formed
against us, and how we can effectively defeat them.
Focusing on the spiritual source of blessing and cursing in our lives does not mean neglecting the practical work to be done. If
you need to see a doctor, pray in authority that you find the best doctor. If you need finances, seek Gods wisdom to earn
promotion, or find a better job. Let the peace of God and His wisdom direct your actions, but then . . . take action. Having faith in
God’s promises and power over spiritual curses are not a replacement for doing natural work, but rather are the essential
spiritual works we must do to ensure that our natural efforts are maximized and protected by the power of God in Jesus Christ.
Woven into the book of Ephesians are answers. The list below looks like actions but they are spiritual forces. Succumbing to
these spiritual forces may result in a similar action, but the source is spiritual. If dealt with in the spiritual realm first, the curses
can be overtaken and victory won before they physically appear in our lives! Our spiritual victory is assured and overflowing with
all we need in the natural realm.
Our spiritual blessings: The spiritual source of curses:
Eph 1:3 Grace and Peace from GOD Eph 5:3 Fornication [ungodly sexual contact]
Eph 1:4 Blameless in Love Eph 5:3 Uncleanness [disregarding holiness]
Eph 1:5 Adopted as Sons [and daughters] Eph 5:3 Covetousness [desiring with lust]
Eph 1:7 Redemption and Forgiveness Eph 5:4 Filthiness [action unpleasing to God]
Eph 1:-8 Wisdom and prudence Eph 5:4 Foolish talking [gossip and backbiting]
Eph 1:10 Unity Eph 5:5 Coarse jesting [humiliation and lewdness]
Eph 1:12 Trust [faith] Eph 5:5 Idolatry [any authority higher than GOD]
Eph 1:17 Wisdom and revelation Eph 5:6 Empty words [promises not kept]
Eph 1:19 Christ-like Resurrection Power Eph 5:6 Deceptive talk [innuendo and whispering]
Eph 1:21 Authority above all other powers Eph 5:6 Sons of disobedience [opposing counsel]
Eph 2:1 Live apart from sin and trespass Eph 5:11 Unfruitful works [ lack of completion]
Eph 2:2 God’s mercy Eph 5:18 Drunkenness, gluttony [i.e. excess]
God shows how to stay in the blessing column. READ (Ephesians 6:13-18)
He even shows us how to overcome the curses. READ (Ephesians 4:22-32)
Our prayer is that you are able to operate in the fullness of God’s spiritual power as you overcome every situation and
circumstance that attempts to hinder your health, finance, relationships, and peace. We bind the principalities and spiritual
forces that would attempt to hinder God’s adopted children [You]. We render them ineffective in your lives as you do your natural
work and the Spirit of God moves supernaturally in your lives. We believe every curse is broken and that you are filled with every
blessing. In Jesus Name.
Love In Christ,
Gregory & Linda Emler
